Nolwenn于1982年9月28日出生于法国西部半岛布列塔尼大区的小镇Saint-Renan
10岁，作为职业足球运动员的父亲抛弃了家庭。Nolwenn开始经历艰难的岁月，由于母亲工作的变动，而经常搬家。从4岁到11岁，她总共换了6所学校，这期间，Nolwenn保持着对大海、布列塔尼和塞尔特传说的热爱。
母亲失业，外祖父得病，两位曾外祖母相继因为癌症去世，这些痛苦的经历造成了Nolwenn性格中忧郁的一面。
她进入法国克莱蒙费朗大学法律系学习，希望以后能在联合国或非政府组织从事外交工作。 16岁，Nolwenn被维希罗特里俱乐部选中作为交换学生去了美国。
Nolwenn在法国就读的维希塞勒斯丹中学（初中）的音乐老师发现了她的音乐天赋，并建议她学习小提琴。Nolwenn的小提琴是由她的曾外祖父传给了她的外祖母，最后传到了她手上。
从美国回到法国以后，Nolwenn开始学习歌剧演唱。事实上，Nolwenn非常喜欢唱歌，而且经常一个人偷偷地唱个不停。
于是报名参加了教授古典唱腔的Armande Altai开办的歌剧学习班。为了攒取学费和往返巴黎的车费，她周末在超市当收银员。
风靡全球50多个国家的“明星学院”（Star Academy）这一电视节目的概念最早源自西班牙，却最先在法国得到实施，并立刻刮起收视热浪。这是一个类似于“美国偶像”的歌手选秀节目，一个真实生活TV秀。从全国各地甄选来的学生集体居住在一个美丽的城堡里，学习声乐、舞蹈、戏剧、形体等课程，并进行排演，每周末做总结演出，并淘汰最弱的学生。为期4个月的学期下来以后，最后唯一的胜利者可以获得100万欧元的奖金和环球公司的一张唱片合约。这一切都由法国电视1台在全国范围内播出，观众看到的不仅仅是歌艺表演，还有学生们的日常生活。参加这样的节目对于性格内向，甚至被学院的老师评价为自闭的Nolwenn来说需要很大的勇气。虽然不习惯面对镜头，Nolwenn沉醉在学院的音乐氛围里，并且借着这个节目使得法国人发现了一个美妙的声音。

Jon Jenkins is primarily a musician in the electronic/ambient genre.
"I've always been fascinated by the ability of a good piece of music to stimulate the imagination and transport the listener to another place in their mind without ever leaving their chair. Growing up, I listened to a lot of music like Pink Floyd, Genesis, Marillion, Peter Gabriel, and Tangerine Dream because they always made albums to be experienced rather than just listened to, and they all maintained a nice balance between power and space. I couldn't get enough of that stuff, so I just started to create the music...
Leroy Vinnegar (July 13, 1928 – August 3, 1999) was an American jazz bassist.
Born in Indianapolis, the self-taught Vinnegar established his reputation in Los Angeles during the 1950s and 1960s. His trademark was the rhythmic "walking" bass line, a steady series of ascending or descending notes, and it brought him the nickname "The Walker". Besides his jazz work, he also appeared on a number of soundtracks and pop albums, notably Van Morrison's 1972 album, Saint Dominic's Preview.
He recorded extensively as both a leader and sideman. He came to public attention in the 1950s as a result of recording...
